After reading the above, | said to the
Judge "that although neither l nor my
neighbors had NAL. anything last year,
we still had the means to buy bread, as
we had our work stock and g few milk
cows, and therefore still possessed the
means Of obtaining bread" The Judge
replied by saying "that the Legislature
did not mean that man should sell his
work stock or milk cows to buy bread,
and that Mr.. Ferguson, the commissioner,
had so interpreted the act" l
asked his Honor chad the
Legislature empowered the commits
sioners or himself to read between the
lines for their meaning, when they
could have so expressed it if they had so
meant" AS there is not pauper to my
knowledge in this part OF the cOunty-we
all own and cultivate our farms, pay taxes
and our debts as fast as possible, but
last yesr we met misfortune by the drouth
that put US, or many ( Us, to extremities.
yet do not believe there Is one Of nv
acquaintance in the county who would
accept relief in that form-beIieving it
would be at the expense of his manhood.
We would have heartily appreciated the
aid, had it been offered without
an insult. l Will here say to the
Legislator who voted for that form
OF duplex, back action attachment oath,
he is entirely unacquainted with thefpeo-
pie Ot.this section Of the country. We arei
resdy to observe any law he may make,
wise or otherwise, but when he offers an
insult with his aims, we fling it back with
Indignation and scorn, together With his5
offer OF bread, that would turn TO ashes
before it reached our lips. Did be. but

tions, the shifts and turns 10 get bread,
TO get little feed for their work stock,
TO get seed TO plant; did he but see the
fields they are to-day culuvating with the
scautiest of means, and on still sCantier
fare, of the patient and accomplishing |
endurance and fortitude everywhere man
ifested, the blush of shame would mantle |
his cheek for the insult thus offered. The |
aid might have proved blessing to US,
but to accept on such terms would be q |
curse. 1t would have been much better |
to have left the offer unmade. Let it take |
any shape butthat. "A. S. LOGAN.

Mis-. Hulda Bond, Of Brooklyn, is an auto
graph collector of more than ordinary peril
nacity. The manner i'll which she secured
Gen. Grants is interesting. The general was
at the time sick with the disease that resulted
in his death: but, nothing daunted, Miss Bond
called at his residence, sent in her card, and
obtained ali interview with the generals wife.
Miss Bond impressed Mrs. Grant 50 favorably
that when she brought out her album and
said: DO you think the general would add
his name tn my collection" the latter re
piled that she would see and went up stairs
On returning, Mrs. Grant said: Il told the
general of your pleasant cali, and he took the
album, and, Sinncing over it, read the few
lines written by little boy 5 years old, as
follows:
And me to. wish, in your album TO appear
And do excuse my funny letters, cousin, dear;
For I'm only years old, AMI in skirts as yet
But, when I'm O. my first pants ! am 10 get;
And then III be big man, I'm sure,
And write as nice as see Grover Cleveland's sig
nature. L. S. BoSD.'
And after reading them he called for a pen
and wrote after the boys signature: And U.
S. Grant The situation was 50 humorous"
added, Mrs Grant, that the general burst
into laughter for the first time in weeks"-
